Just taken down a tent that’s been in the garden for a couple of weeks and found this scene of carnage underneath. There’s a bird (or bits of one). a small rodent largely unmolested, and a mustelid of some kind, again intact apart from a bloodstain on its chest but that could be from anything.

What could have happened?

Once when I were younger our family arrived very late into a campsite with only one pitch left under an ape tree as it was dark we missed many apples during clearing the pitch, once everything was up we chucked our stuff in and passed the mallet round to iron out the bumps…

Your next task is clear… how is your taxidermy?

Shame about the weasel. 🙁

Weasels are smaller than that arent they?

Aye, it has stoatally had it. 😕
Suffocated?

Circumstantial evidence points to Reynard but how far are you from a river?

If the grass surrounding the murder scene had been covered for the last fortnight it would now be yellow/white so there’s clearly more to this than you’re letting on. ❓

Perhaps it mustelid into a murder and is infact the unfortunate victim in the wrong place at the wrong time

Smaller than what? There’s nothing there to give any sort of scale. There are only two small common mustelids in the UK, stoats and weasels; the easy way to tell them apart is by the tail, stoats have black tips to their tails, which is where you get the little black marks in ermine, the white winter coat of stoats., which are bigger than weasels.

Mink !

Aye, murderous little bastards, at least they keep the cats out of the garden.
Not that there’s anything left for the cats anyway…

Har har to the comedians 😀 I think its a weasel, about as big as your hand. We are about 500m from a river. We think the bird fatally pecked it with its last gasp, and the small rodent is an innocent passer by that died of something unrelated.

Murder suicide case. His bird was going to leave.

There was a fourth beastie. Fight over who got the bird and who got the ratty thing.
Possibly a (tent)polecat.
Clearly pegged it.
The death wasn’t in-tent-ional……..
Are you just canvassing opinion from us guys?

Fucksake mate we all like a bad joke, but there is a line you know

Its a guy line 😀

Chupacabra?
